Does Doritaenopsis "Taida Golden Apple" exist?

[JMN16150]

My first successful rescue came with a tag that says Dtps "Taida Golden Apple", but when I search it up, nothing with the same name pops up. Is this a discontinued hybrid? Thank You

I have the latest version of Orchid Wiz and there is nothing for that name. But there are tons of names already registered as Taida Golden ..... by the company Taida. Often these large companies sell tons of Phals to the box stores that haven't been registered. But it could be in the future since they have a lot already registered. So don't toss your tag. For now it could not win an AOS award or anything as the parents are unknown. It is sort of a NOID, but may not be when they get around to registering it.

They do seem to have a lot registered as Taida Golden... but not this one.

One thing to note is it will likely be registered as Phalaenopsis Taida Golden Apple when it is registered as the Doritaenopsis genus does not exist any more.

Thanks for the response

Orchidwiz is not the reference, it's the International Orchid Register at the RHS.

First, it's Phalaenopsis, not Doritaenopsis.
No trace of Taida Golden Apple. Maybe it's not already registered, or the name is shortened and 'Apple' is the clone.
